Chapter 885: All the real hammers, the second princess
"Father..."
The second princess was so frightened that she knelt down quickly and could not say a word. Because she did not understand the details and was accustomed to being pampered, she could not even clearly understand her defeat.
Concubine Gao was so frightened that she turned blue, "Your Majesty, the second princess was also instigated..."
At this time, she didn't know how to defend her daughter, and just wanted to ask her brother for help.
But Gao Yehong knew that if he came forward at this time, he would only punish one more member of the Gao family, and would not be able to help the second princess and Concubine Gao.
So Gao Yehong also chose to remain silent.
In fact, he also knew in his heart that even if the second princess really did something, the emperor would not really punish the second princess, because the existence of the Gao family can help the emperor restrain the Gan family, and Gan Hao has become more and more proud of himself in recent years. This kind of
Under such circumstances, it is even more impossible for the emperor to deal with the Gao family.
Suddenly, the second princess remembered something again, "Father, I also heard about it. I thought it was like this. It was them who said it..."
"Who told you that? You are a princess, who can instigate you?" the emperor said solemnly.
The emperor's implicit meaning is that Her Majesty the Princess can be so stupid and easily instigated by her servants, but you still have the nerve to say it.
If I really choose you as the crown prince, Yunyue Kingdom will really be finished.
At this time, the second princess subconsciously looked at the maid in pink clothes next to her, preparing to ask her to tell what she saw.
However, at this time, there was no one around her.
The emperor also glanced at Mu Lingwei, and was about to say that the matter would be dropped, and that the second princess would be relieved of her position as the general of the country. She would have no power in her hands, which meant that she would be far away from the position of heir apparent.
At this moment, a palace maid in pink clothes was suddenly thrown in from the palace gate and fell next to the second princess.
Everyone was shocked and looked for fame. They saw "Xiao Han" also appeared at the door at the same time. He bowed respectfully to the emperor and said, "She must be the one who instigated the second princess to frame the eldest princess!"
Before the second princess could speak, Ding Xiang suddenly exclaimed: "It's her. She gave each of us two hundred taels of silver and asked us to go into the palace to accuse the eldest princess. She also said that she just wanted us to reveal her secrets in the Yan Mansion.
After the rumors spread, we were released from the palace. The servants were also obsessed with us and begged the eldest princess to spare her life."
Mu Lingwei didn't bother to talk to them at all. Two hundred taels of silver could buy their conscience.
The second princess also said: "Zi Lan, please tell your father clearly that you clearly saw Liang Yi and Mu Lingwei behaving intimately with your own eyes, and it was you who told me..."
As soon as these words came out, the officials in the main hall shook their heads and sighed. It turns out that a servant's words can influence the second princess's thoughts. If she continues to serve as the general of the country, and foreign enemies invade, how will she lead the troops to protect the country?
, protect your own people.
Seeing Zilan's eyes full of guilt, she said: "Second princess, I know that you hate Her Royal Highness the eldest princess for winning the emperor's love, and you even hate her uncle for cutting off your bun. But now that the matter has been exposed, we can no longer succeed.
Already."
Immediately afterwards, she knelt on the ground again and said: "My slave is guilty. It was the second princess who asked me to bribe the maid of Yan Mansion to frame the eldest princess. I am willing to die to apologize."
After she finished speaking, she was about to bite her tongue and commit suicide, but Mu Lingwei pinched her mandible hard: "Do you want to die so much? Don't you want to know why Young Master Xiao captured you so quickly? What did you do?
Exposed? I think you must be unwilling to be exposed so easily!"
Because when she was caught by Xiao Han just now, she wanted to commit suicide by biting poison, but when he saw through it, she lost the opportunity.
Her accomplices are even less likely to come out to save her, because coming forward now means being exposed, so Zilan is destined to be a victim.
If he had followed Zi Lan and tried to get her to connect with their people, he would have missed today's opportunity. After all, this was the Yunyue Kingdom's palace, and there couldn't be only the emperor's people around.
Instead of playing hide-and-seek with them, it would be better to just throw Zilan out.
Zi Lan also took a deep look at Mu Lingwei. She had been dormant beside the second princess, always very careful, and had become the second princess's confidant. No one would know that she was actually the eldest princess's wife.
In fact, Zilan also felt strange that there were clues about the eldest princess and her uncle early in the morning, so their people would know why it had all turned into a misunderstanding.
Once the mission failed and her identity was exposed, she would not be able to survive. If she had successfully left quietly just now, she would have had the last chance to survive. Unfortunately, she was stopped as soon as she exited Chonghua Palace.
So she would bite her to death before she died because the second princess asked them to do it.
At this time, Mu Lingwei did not ask her directly why he wanted to harm her, but told her that he had been exposed a long time ago.
Zilan was not sure whether she had known about it for a long time, or whether she already knew that she was the eldest princess.
Mu Lingwei still squeezed her mandible tightly.
Just now when Mu Lingwei was telling a story, Zi Lan was preparing to leave quietly. Everyone's eyes were focused on the eldest princess, but Xiao Han was ignored.
Xiao Han and Mu Lingwei seemed to have a good understanding, so they quietly retreated.
Zilan suddenly said: "I also want to know what I did wrong, so that the eldest princess noticed it." There is no point in making excuses. They are secretly trained craftsmen and must deal with any crisis.
Mu Lingwei raised her lips and sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Your eyes are different from other people's. Haven't you craftsmen trained your eyes? You don't even know how to act. How did you hide so much next to the second princess?"
How long?"
When Zilan heard the word "Xizuo", her pupils were suddenly startled. Did the eldest princess know that she was the eldest princess's person?
At this time, Zi Lan also pretended to be calm and said in a cold voice: "There are so many maids around the second princess, and there are countless maids at the entire banquet. Why did you know it was me?"
She thought she hid it well and would not be discovered at all. She still wanted to know how the eldest princess found her. She did not believe that the eldest princess had seen her.
"It's such a coincidence that you appeared next to the second princess." Mu Lingwei knew that she would not live long, so she kindly explained: "Without you reminding the second princess, she would not be so stupid to rush out and frame me."
She then said calmly: "Perhaps your real master wants to kill two birds with one stone."
Zi Lan also seemed to be frightened, and looked aside intentionally or unintentionally. Soon, she came back to her senses and insisted: "This slave is the second princess's son in life, and the second princess's ghost in death. I am willing to die to apologize."
"
Mu Lingwei followed her gaze and saw that there was no one there anymore. She remembered that there was a woman standing there who was not dressed like a servant.
Even "Xiao Han" disappeared again. He really felt like he was in a deserted place. This was someone else's palace.
She thought: He must have noticed that someone was leaving again, so he chased him out. I'm afraid it wouldn't be so smooth this time.
She remained calm. Since there was no evidence, she did not want to alert the enemy. Anyway, the emperor did not want to deal with another princess. Even if it was found to be the eldest princess, the eldest princess could still push out a servant to take the blame.
But she was also very skillful in asking questions. If it wasn't for the Second Princess's instruction, could a maid suggest something to the Second Princess to harm her?
Another possibility is that the second princess did not give instructions, but the maid deliberately tempted the second princess to do this.
She and Zilan have never met and have no grievances. Why should she instigate the second princess? It can only mean that there is a third person who asked Zilan to do this.
Even if there was no evidence, Mu Lingwei still let the eldest princess feel how it felt to be scolded by the second princess.
